Modern processors require highly accurate branch prediction for good performance. As such, a number of branch predictors have been proposed with varying size and complexity. This ...
In today's wide-issue processors, even small branch-misprediction rates introduce substantial performance penalties. Worse yet, inadequate branch prediction creates a bottlen...

Multi-core processors, with low communication costs and high availability of execution cores, will increase the use of execution and compilation models that use short threads to e...
The continual demand for greater performance and growing concerns about the power consumption in highperformance microprocessors make the branch predictor a critical component of ...
